When given the opportunity to bat first, England was only able to reach 166 on an excellent batting surface.

To assist India over the finish line, Tilak maintained his composure and produced an undefeated 72.
With 3/29 in his four overs, Brydon Carse was England’s standout player. Also, he gave the opening innings a boost with the bat. With three wickets remaining, India needed 22 runs from four overs. However, Arshdeep was caught in the deep in Adil Rashid’s penultimate over, leaving India in need of 20 runs off 18 with just two wickets remaining. Tilak was assisted by Ravi Bishnoi, who also scored a few boundaries to relieve some of the load. The team was overrun by Tilak in the last over. Both clubs will be eager to do well again after the exciting game.
